“And who would you be?” He folded his hands behind his back. “Aphrodite, no doubt. A perfect match for my Eros.”
A smile pulled at Emma’s lips. “You know, as the story goes, she is the mother of Eros?”
Mr. Godwin chuckled but shook his head. “You are truly taking all the possible enjoyment out of this.”
“Very well.” Emma grinned. “I suppose I see myself more as Athena, the goddess of reason and wisdom, literature and intelligence.”
He nodded. “I can see that, though I think there still might be more to you than that.”
Emma shrugged. Little did he know there was so much more.
For Athena was also the goddess of strategy and warfare. Emma only hoped she could measure up.
